Actually we saw these in Buenos Aires and we were intrigued. Possibly if we'd had a little more time to adventure into the lovely bakeries there, we could have tried an Argentinian version.

Now they are showing up a little bit everywhere and they are quite nice! Sweet, but not too much, slightly flavored with fennel, or anise flavor. Glazed with sugar. Light. Very fresh tasting considering how humbly they are packaged. I love waxed paper wrappings with this old-style type. We had some with a Chandon Blanc de Noirs one August evening. They come in other flavors - yes!
